Even as the number of COVID-19 cases in India and around the world touch new heights everyday, the countries remain under lockdown waiting for a vaccine for the deadly virus. The global economy is bracing for an impact far more severe than any recent epidemic such as SARS and MERS or even the global economic recession of 2008-10, with the United States, Italy, France and Iran being the worst-hit countries.

Stock markets have continued to crash globally, and businesses are running on limited resources and supplies amid widespread fear and panic. Almost every sector is dealing with the burden of the crisis, with tech giants cancelling major plans and suspending operations in many geographies.

The special DataLabs report will help to provide the business world at large a perspective on the impact of the pandemic on different industries, the new opportunities which will be created and much more.

Business In The Times Of Coronavirus: India And The World

The coronavirus pandemic has created waves of panic across all major economies in the world. Stock markets have crashed, businesses are running on limited resources and supplies, while consumers and workers are shut inside their homes in many leading economies. The venture capital deals in startups have also come to a grinding halt. The question remains, how much can the global economy take?

As the world waits for a vaccine and an end to the deadly virus, the global economy is bracing for an impact far more severe compared to its predecessors—SARS, Swine Flu (H5N1), MERS and others.

The latest report by DataLabs assesses the impact of Covid-19 and the coronavirus pandemic on the Indian economy and the global markets. In addition to this, we have also highlighted the toll it takes on India’s startup ecosystem and tech economy.

Electric Vehicle Market Outlook Report 2020

India has set a target of 30% electric vehicles on the road by 2030 and given that so far only 32% of states and UTs in the country have formulated policies regarding electric vehicle adoption, this is an ambitious target.

Apart from the push from the government with various policies at the central and state level, the investor confidence towards EV startups is also on the rise, with a 3.2x surge between 2018 and 2019. Despite these positive developments, many questions surround the future of electric vehicles in India, given the state of infrastructure support and the unaffordability factor of electric vehicles.

The latest report by DataLabs assesses this booming EV market in India, even as the electric mobility system takes steps towards maturity. Touching on the factors driving the supply and demand side, the report showcases the current challenges, trends and investor confidence in this sector.
